Policies

The primary goal of the HOA is to maintain the value of the homes in our neighborhood and to make our community a safe, comfortable place to live and raise children. The Trustees accomplish this by making sure the common areas are maintained properly (grass cut, trees trimmed, beds mulched, flowers planted, ponds cleaned, etc.), and by making sure homeowners follow some basic rules regarding maintenance of their property. The Trustees, working with our management company (VGL) will take the necessary steps, including assessing fines and ultimately taking legal action, to obtain adherence.

The following are some basic guidelines you will want to follow. For a complete list of restrictions refer to the Warranty Deed Restrictions under the Documents/Forms tab.

• Mailboxes need to be maintained by the homeowner per the Mailbox Policy. They must be the correct style, color, have black numbers on both sides, and kept in good condition.
  
  

• Sidewalks in front or your home are your responsibility. Uneven or broken sidewalks are a walking hazard and create a liability!
  You need to arrange to have the necessary repairs made at your cost.
  The HOA requires you to level the concrete whenever the elevation between two blocks of concrete change by more than one and one-half inches, or the sidewalk violates the Township’s Sidewalk Policy.
  

• Trees overhanging sidewalks must be trimmed to a height of eight feet per Orange Township.
  The homeowner is responsible for making sure your trees are in compliance with township requirements.
  Trim your trees so neighbors can walk the sidewalks without being hit by low hanging branches!​
  As a general rule, a person 6' tall should be able to walk with arms up without touching branches,
  whether he is on the inside or outside edge of the sidewalk!
  

• Homes need to be maintained.

  • Lawns should be cut weekly during the cutting season.

  • Weeds should be kept to a minimum.

  • Flower beds should be weeded and edged periodically.

  • Mold growth should be removed from siding annually.
    

• Dead cars are not to be maintained in the driveway or the street. Remove or repair them promptly.
  

• Boats, trailers, campers, wave runners, trucks over one ton, etc. can not be parked in the driveway or anywhere on the lot for more than a 24 hour period.

  • The HOA board may grant an exception for extenuating circumstances. Please give the board a heads up and we will work with you.

If there are questions or concerns, you can contact our VGL representative (Jen Vitcusky). Or you can contact the Board by clicking this link Contact HOA and submitting your question/concern. HOA board members volunteer their time to work with our neighbors and maintain the neighborhood.
